It's a Cinch You Always Get a Decision When Lincoln Plays Omaha LIRKS VANQUISHED AGAIN BYRODRKES Cecil Thompson Does Not Allow Hit for Six Innings and Only One Man Reaches First. OMAHA SLAMS BALL HARD For ix innings yesterday Cecil Thompson of moist bait fame hurled the same kind of ball Walter John son does when he's right. After the six frames Cecil didn't set the world on fire, but his mates had accumu lated such a large lead it was impos - sible for the despised and lowly Links to catch up and the de luxe Rourklets captured another ball game from , their hated rivals, Mo 4. Three , cheers. What Thompson didn't do to those Links for the first six stanzas wasn't worth doing. Nary a hit was nicked off his delivery and only one man got as far as first base. Harry Williams reached the first station in the fifth on a base on balls, but he failed to get an opportunity to explore the scenery further. - In the seventh Thompson weak ened. He allowed three, hits, issued a walk and Harold Irelan contributed a boot which gave tne opposition a trio of runs. In the ninth a couple more hits netted a run for the Duck lings, hut this quartet of markers wasn't enough to .beat our athlees. " Roorkes Hammer Ball. While Thompson was playing horse with the Links, Marty Krug's trained troop of actors was playing havoc with one Gardner, a young person who thinks he is a pitcher. . In the opening stanza two runs were banged across and the Rourkes kept up their attack the rest of the game, scoring a " few runs whenever they wanted them. With two down in the starter, Shag Thompson got a life on a bobble by Morse and went to second oh Miller's hit. He promptly stole third and Scored on Krueger s single to leit. Forsythe then breezed, a hit tcj right, counting Miller. Encouraged by this start, ,oUr side opened up on Gardner again in the third. Krug and Shag Thompson both beat out bunts and Miller drew I a pass, Krueger's sacrifice fly scored Krug and horsythe s single registered Thompson. ' Shag Steals Another. A hit by Krug, Shag Thompson's . force out, Shag s steal ot second and a hit by Krueger scored another run for us in the seventh and in the eiehth the eame was cinched when Cecil Thompson and Marty Krug doubled and Shag Thompson smote ' a safety to center. : ,1 Kewpie Kilduff was missing from the pastime yesterday.

STMERlf RS BOOT CALLED OFF Peters in Hospital with Acute Bronchitis and Stecher Don't Oare to Wrestle Kovv. PLESTINA DEFIES LEWIS There will be no wrestling match between Joe Stecher and Charley Peters at the speedway next Satur day night, following the races of the afternoon. Peters were seized with an attack of acute bronchitis a couple of weeks ago and he was ordered to the hos pital" by attending physicians. In ad dition, an operation was performed on his nose. So the Papillion grap pler was compelled to cancel his scheduled go with the Dodge wonder. The Speedway company tried to get Stecher to wrestle Marin Plestina nwhen they discovered it was out of the question for Peters to work, but following the July! 4 farce, Stecher said he was so disgusted with the wrestling game that he didn't want to tangle with anybody for a while. Then the Speedway company tried to get Strangler Lewis to tangle with Plestina, but the Strangler got dumped m quick time when he wres tled the Austrian before and he didn't want slny more of the game. So there will be no wrestling match here the night of the speedway races.

OMAHA PAGER TO INVADETHE EAST Hal McKinney, Best Known of Nebraska Speed Horses, Has Made Brilliant Record. WILL TRY THE MILE TRACKS By RUSSELL PHELPS. Nebraska's greatest and best known pacer, Hat McKinney, that good brown horse, by Hal B., with a mile- track mark of 2:06)4 and a half-mile record of 2:07, ovned by a no less prominent horseman Tom Dennison of Omaha will be taken east in a few weeks in an effort to demonstrate to the fans on the "big time" that the westerners don't have to doff their bonnets to any of them. Mr. Dennison's speedy stallion has earned the right, if for nothing else, by reason of brilliant performances on Nebraska tracks at the early meet ings this year; Starting at the Ben son affair. Hal McKinnev iust natur" ally ambled down the Nebraska Mid way racing circuit, showing his heels to Columbia fire, tne otner eon tender for free-for-all pacing honors, in the majority of instances. Thirteen Out of Sixteen Heats. Out f Sixteen heats to date in which Hat McKinney and Columbia Fire have battled, the Omaha-owned pacer has romped away with thirteen of them, tied one and lost two. And as most of Hal McKinney's victories were decisive ones, the keepers of horsedom's inner shrine are glad to hand him the scepter as the premier pacer of the Cornhusker state. Those who don't entertain such a frame of mind are welcome .to nominate some other steppers whose owners -would like to take a chance in the little old free-for-all. i Hal McKinney, according to his owner's present plans, is to be taken down Illinois way, most likely at either the Peoria or Galesburg tracks a couple of the fastest mile ovals on the Great Western circuit. There Hal McKinney will be tested out to determine if he's a better mile-track pacer than a half-mile one. If, in his owner's opinion, Hal McKinney shows the speed that is known to be in hitjf, together with a dash of that which is suspected to be in him well, then, the backers and followers of the eastern starters had better start in preparing for a long, hard winter. In case, however, that the Omaha pacer-convinces Mr. Dennison that his forte is the smaller track, then back to the smaller track belt he'll come.. In either case. It's going to be the greatest year Hal McKinney has ever had. First Trip to East Any number of the game stallion's admirers would like to see him es corted to the "big top" region for at least a few sessions. It will be Hal McKinney's initial invasion of the east, and there are those who are willing to bet their shirt studs that the pacing idol of the Nebraska metropolis is destined to "clean up." Seven head of Mr. Dennison's strinar will be taken over in Iowa the latter part of the month for a fling at the first four meetings over the Southwestern Iowa and Missouri Short-Ship circuit. The string, head lined by Hal McKinney, will start at Corning, July 24 to 27, inclusive, con tinuing on to meetings at Bedford, Malvern and Shenandoah. , The famous Dennison pacing pony, Babe King, owned by Miss Frances, will also appear on the Iowa tracks in exhibition trials, stepping the last one-eighth against time. Outside of the free-for-all pace, Babe King, known as the world's fastest pacing pony, has proven the greatest draw ing card of the year on Nebraska tracks, and should be as much of an attraction in the Hawkeye and other states. " Successful Meet at Kearney. They turned 'em on the Nebraska Speed association circuit last week with an unusually successful meeting at Kearney. A record. crowd turned out for the program on the "Fourth," the turnstiles registering no less than 6,000 race fans. Featuring the meeting was the per- Continued on Pago Three, CoL It. "The Little Gentleman of the Race Track," Is What They Call Mulford fi- ''','''i f y ft RALPH MULFORD. When the world's most famous automobile daredevils line up on the Speedway here, June IS, to compete in what looks to be the best meeting anywhere in the country during the 1916 season, there will be a little gray haired mother anxiously watching her son as he roars around the ring at a death .defying pace. And as he starts, one driver will throw a kiss to-this little mother be fore he crams op all his, car has in the way of sptcd. , This driver is Ralph Mulford,, the "little gentleman" of the race track. To Ralph Mulford, the best woman in the world is his mother. He idolizes her and she idolizes him. Her slightest wish is instantly obeyed and her word to him is law. Mrs. Mulford taught Ralph in his childhood to remember the Sabbath and keep it holy. He does it. No amount of money could tempt him to drive in a race on Sunday. On that day he abandons his business as wholly and completefy as though for him a race track never existed. At Chicago some time ago, he turned his car over to Eddie Ricken backer, when the tatter's machine was down. . "I'll cut the money with you, Ralph, if I get a place," Rickenbacker prom ised. "No you won't," said Ralph. "You're welcome to my car, and if you win any prize money you're welcome to that to. If I shared in' the money I might just as well take part in the 'face. I promsed my mother a long time ago that I'd remember the Sab bath and keep it holy,, and I'll keep my word."- Mutford is one of the finest char acters in the speed game. He is as considerate of the most humble pit workman as he is of the judges and association officials. He never uses profanity, even when exasperation is most maddening, and he never for gets the feelings and rights of others. One other quality Mulford has that is an outstanding feature of his char acter. When his car is working badly, Ralph will positively refuse to "hippodrome" or "grandstand." H simply does the best he can, but under no circumstances will he ever attempt to play, to,, the galleries, though those who have watched hira hundred of times declare that he has had many chances to four-flush thrills that would. look good and. still be hoaxes well known to drivers.

VET MAKES GAME FIGHT BY LOUIS H. COOK. Sam W. Reynolds of the Omaha Field club is the state golf champion of Nebraska for the third time. He copped the title yesterday at the Field club by defeating E. H. Sprague, veteran player of the Omaha Country club, 5 up and 4 to play, in the thirty-six-hole final match. As has been anticipated, Reynolds had little trouble in defeating Sprague. The veteran put up a good fight, especially on the final four teen holes, but Reynolds was in the lead from the start and at no time did Sprague threaten to overcome the advantage held by the younger player. The gritty uphill fight made on the last dozen holes played was the fea ture of the match so far as Sprague was concerned. Starting the after noon round 6 up, Reynolds started out apparently determined to end the match in short order. He was lead ing Sprague, 8 up, when the sixth hole was reached, and the contest seemed almost sure to end in two or three more holes. Sensation for Gallery. But Spraeue stiffened, and by run ning his approach on the sixth green, a beautiful mashie shot of perhaps twenty-five yards, the ball dropping into the cup, gave the gallery the first real sensation of the match. Revnolds came hack and took the next hole, but Sprague captured the eighth in three, laying Reynolds a perfect stymie. sprague kept up his rally by taking the ninth, when Reynolds pulled his drive into the rough, and decreased the lead another hole on the tenth when Reynolds sliced into the trees. That made Sprague only 5 down, and the crowd was pulling for a Garrison finish. But on the eleventh Sprague was oyer the green on his approach, losing the hole, and was again 6 down. Sprague came back by captur ing the short twelfth, Reynolds con ceding the hole after he had fallen into a bunker with his first shot, and pitched over the green on the second. The players halved the next two holes and the match ended on the fifteenth green, with Reynolds 5 up and 4 to play. Cinched on First Holes, 1 The match was practically cinched by Reynolds on the first three holes of the morning round, Sprague drop ping all three of the holes and never being able to overcome his handicap. Reynolds was somewhat wild in his driving, but made up for his weak ness in this respect by many remark able recoveries and gilt edge putting. The medal score for the match was as follows: REYNOLDS.

Sprague followed her hus band's fortunes to the finish, while Reynolds had at least one extremely partisan trio among the followers of the match, including his father, his sister and his bride-to-be, Miss Louise Northrup. Finals were played in all of the minor flights yesterday, and de veloped some close contests. Blaine Young of the Field club, a former state champion, won the consolations in the championship division, beating W. M. Folsom of Lincoln, 5 up and 3. C. M. Richards of the Field club ? Tabbed the trophy in the president's light, beating Art Taylor of the Pret tiest Mile club, 3 up. Buzz Colpetzer of the Omaha Country club won a fine traveling bag by defeating his fellow clubman, Guy Furay, 1 up, in the finals of the secretary's flight. The other two competitions were captured by visiting golfers, G. W. Davis of the Norfolk Country club beating Ed Tracy of Miller Park, I up and 2, for the vice president's trophy, and Sam R. McKelvie of Lin coln beating Don Stewart, also of Lincoln, for the directors' prize. The tournament will go down on record as tha most successful in the history of the state association. The entry list exceeded the largest previ ous list by more than three score, and the number of players actually participating was forty larger than at any previous tourney. W. E. Shafer, secretary of the state association, was widely complimented by the visiting delegations and home Dlavers alike for his work in handling he big event. Originally it had been cxpcticu lu piay a iwitiuMi una and upon Shafer, the only local offi cer, fell the burden of making all the arrangements for the tournament. Next year it is believed that more than 200 players will enter at Lin coln. The tournament is to continue for an entire week, and all matches save the first round will be for thirty six holes. This extension of play has been asked by the golfers outside of Omaha, who feel that the tournament should give them more of a chance to play on a large course than is pos sible when the event is finished in four days.
